the government may be doing fine. in many disputes involving muslims the government is doing well in terms of defending the rights. it's the attitudes of local communities that make life difficult for people in our work places, in their schools, in their homes and i think that's what we have to worry about. one of things when you talk about vitality of religion in the united states. i'm going to be super boring and agree with my colleagues. we will build on something especially the charles said. at a different point in history there have been different religious faiths that have been especially disfavored at that period of time. and i agree that my sons and seeks or often mystique they are targeted especially widely. they keep a snapshot in time. this is building on what charles was saying about how the culture is so very important as it relates to these religious freedoms. it is to say everybody is a minority someone. if you are mormon, you're not a minority in utah. but the rest of the country you are a minority. th
